    Wow, and here I thought Killer 7 was the weirdest game ever made.

    ...then again, it still might be, but it's clearly not the first of it's kind.

    That Vinnie the Vole game has to be the best thing I have seen online in months. It was so simple but the hilarity it provided will last me days upon days. I have to go tell my friends about it now. Byeeeee :woohoo: :woohoo: :D

    Vinnie Vole... so wrong on so many levels, wow lol.

    And, by the way Ashens, great choice on the techno version of Chameleon for the predictions portion of the show, always loved that song.

    Oh gawd, I just read about some seriously confusing classic games from the UK last week. Let's see if any of them show up.

    Nope, but they're just as maddening. If anyone wants to see more insane British games, here's the link: http://www.gamesradar.com/f/the-top-7-maddest-british-old-school-games/a-20091014153036754033

    THATCHER IS HERE !

    I'm not convinced these are real, but that was hilarious.

    So...is Vinnie the first ever game character to commit suicide?

    lol oh well, at least the 90s saw a pair of credible Video Game Publishers with their developers: Psygnosis and Eidos.

    I never laughed so hard at end. How many fighting games feature the meat wagon coming in taking the loser and you go to jail, More so how game characters have depression and kill themselves. It be like Mario saying, "I can't take these mushrooms and turtles anymore, ahhhhh!" *bang*

    "Your actions have damned Vinnie."

    Brilliant. Can't wait for your next episode! :)

    WAIT A MINUTE!!! I thought Tech Dump was only made for the BBC.

    It is, but that doesn't mean it can't be embedded on other sites after a period of time.... :whistle:

    Yeah, Vinnie is a jerk and had it coming!

    lol @ some of these games

    Tho after a google search I found it hard to find a download for Realism fighter :(

    Okay, obviously those games aren't real, but is there any truth to this story? Did the DTI actually fund a showcase of British video games? If so, where can I find out more information on this?

    you got to give credit to the vinnie game, it has nice animation and character animations for 1986 and it has a real life sound effect.

    Was Vinnie emo?

    Ashen, please upload your game console rip-off reviews here. Those are great too.
